This money that could be better spent on public schools.
SC Reps continue their attack on public education, pushing a dangerous school voucher bill that diverts millions away from public schools. Henry McMaster has made it clear he fully supports this scheme to undermine public education. Every Senate Dem voted NO on this harmful bill. Link in bio! #SCPol

I would bet on Crockett! And C is exactly right about why Mace is doing this. She needs to start acting like a grown woman.
Crockett: Somebody’s campaign coffers are struggling right now so she’s going to keep saying trans trans trans.. Child listen

Mace: I am no child! Do not call me a child. I am a grown woman. If you want to take it outside

Ridiculous these maggots.

It looks like Republicans think that unless you’re a billionaire, you don’t deserve a damn thing in terms of help or support.

This is a way of making taxpayers pick up the bill for private school tuition. South Carolina needs to focus on improving public schools.

Nothing says “pro life” like a bill to execute women for having an abortion.

Here are the South Carolina 6 who have introduced H3537 to do exactly that. The media has ignored it but make sure they, & the world, know we’re watching.

But we need to look at cutting things like Social Security. Makes no sense.
Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?

Kennedy wants to take a “break” from studying infectious diseases like COVID-19 and measles.

Elon Musk needs to be sued. He’s putting people in danger. Who elected him president anyway?
Elon Musk identified obscure federal employees by name as he questioned the value of their jobs in recent social media posts, alarming the largest union representing federal workers.

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?

At the end of the day Donald Trump knows “the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans!” He said so himself.

Another woman with a full life snuffed by an abortion ban. It would be so easy for lawmakers to stop this suffering.
NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
